He moved to New York in January 1983 and spent his time making up models for free. His big break came eight months later, when Vogue magazine booked him to work on a photo shoot of Meg Tilly. He did his first cover in 1986, working with Richard Avedon. Aucoin was the author of three books, "Face Forward", featuring Amy Sedaris as Angie Dickinson's Police Woman, "Making Faces", and "The Art of Makeup".

He appears in a non-speaking role as an arresting officer in a United States Postal Service training film, apparently made sometime in the 1980s, warning of the dangers of mail theft. The film, narrated by a characteristically grim Edward James Olmos in his "Lieutenant Castillo" mode, is entitled "Was It Worth It?" (you can probably guess the answer) and is still being shown to new USPS employees.

John William Ferrell was born on July 16, 1967 in Irvine, California. His father, Lee, was a longtime keyboardist for the Righteous Brothers. Will became interested in performing while he was a student at University High School in Irvine, California, where he made his school's daily morning announcements over the public address system in disguised voices. After graduating from high school in 1986 he attended the University of Southern California where he earned his degree in Sports Information.Will Ferrell started as a member of the Los Angeles comedy/improv group The Groundlings, where fellow cast members Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and former SNL repertory players such as Laraine Newman, Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman began their careers. It was there that Will met Chris Kattan and the two became good friends and would later go on to be "Saturday Night Live" castmates in 1995. During his seven year run on that show he became one of the few cast members ever to be nominated for an Emmy. He's appeared in every "Saturday Night Live" spinoff movie since his premiere on the show in 1995. In 2001 he became the highest paid "Saturday Night Live" cast member ever. Producers were desperate to keep him, resulting in a salary of over $350,000. In 2002 he left SNL and was the only cast member to ever receive a farewell from all the current cast members at the end of the season finale show. Since leaving the show Will has pursued a career in film. He married Viveca Paulin in August 2000 and the couple lives in both Los Angeles and New York.

 Jackie Hayes was Gari's Vaudeville stage name
| Roberto Gari was born in Brooklyn and by the age of 4 he was appearing in vaudeville under the name of Jackie Hayes. In 1939 Gari studied at the Art Students League under the auspices of such renowned instructors as Will Barnett and Ethel Schwabacher. He became a very respected artist with one man shows from coast to coast in such galleries as the Bodley Gallery in NYC and the Raymond Burr and Acosta galleries in Beverly Hills. His paintings were cherished additions to the collections of such stars as Shelley Winters, Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher, Eddie Cantor (his father-in-law), George Jessel, Ronald Reagan (who even hung his 'Gari' painting in the White House!), Jack Cassidy, Greer Garson, June Havoc, Anthony Franciosa, Shirley Jones, Ted Lewis, Kaye Ballard and Steve Allen. His legendary painting of Judy Garland was on display in the lobby of New York's Palace Theatre and then returned to the Theatre Collection of the Museum of the City of New York. In 1944 Gari danced with Vera-Ellen in the Broadway production of A Connecticut Yankee and later landed the role of Merlin the magician in the same production. His other Broadway credits include Sadie Thompson and Eddie Cantor's production of Nellie Blye. In the 50's he appeared on The Eddie Cantor Colgate Comedy Hour as well as the Danny Thomas Four Star Revue. Marriage, fatherhood and his art work kept him away from performing until he decided to return in the 80's. He performed in the off-Broadway play, The Bond. You can see him in such films as IQ, The Associate, Scent of a Woman, She Devil, and One Fine Day, as well as on the small screen where he played Maurice the bartender on A Guiding Light and Alistair, the Harrisons' butler, on Another World from 1992-1995. He was also prominently featured on Candid Camera and The Last Mile on PBS.  Gari's famous Judy Garland portrait

While there he was an active member of Delta Psi Omega. In 1991 he was awarded the Academic Excellence award for Drama, as well as Most Likely to Succeed, and Sophmore Beaus. In 1993 he continued his studies at Juilliard (Group 26) until 1996, when he left before earning a degree. He currently lives in New York City. Alan's most prized possession was a 1964 Mustang, which he named "Old Sock."
Rumor has it that Alan and Amy Sedaris were an item or a while and they've worked together a number of times besides when he played Father in the two cult episodes of "Strangers With Candy". The two co-starred in the short film called "Night, Night", on the New York stage in The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told, on the New Haven stage in The Country Club, and once again on the New York stage in Wonder of the World.

• FILM: Mrs. Death (1999), Wings of the Crow (2000), Mrs. Death 2: Hell's Fury (2000), Mrs. Death 3 (2001)
Rachel Williams was born on April 29, 1967 in Greenwich Village, New York, but is considered an English supermodel. Her father Tod Williams and step-mother Billie Tsien, are architects in New York who recently rose to fame for their Museum of Folk Art, which many critics have called the best building of 2001. Rachel followed in her father's footsteps and studied architecture. She graduated from New York's Columbia University. She is divorced from noted fashion photographer, Gilles Bensimon, who'd divorced supermodel Elle Macpherson to marry her. She reportedly dated writer and pro wrestler Ashe Starr for three years. In March of 1995, Rachel's manager publicly announced her relationship with pop singer Alice Temple: "The simplicity of the story is what makes it really beautiful. Here are two people who respect each other and have an attraction based on their life and their lifestyle. They have a lot of time to be with each other (sharing a flat in London). They've created a life together. Rachel has no problem with the fact that she's with Alice." "I never thought to hide it," the megamodel known as The Amazon shrugged in coming out of the fashion closet to shocked headlines. "I've had flings with women before, though my long-term relationships have always been with men. I was pleasantly surprised when I fell for Alice!"
This Rachel Williams is often confused with model/singer/actress Rachela Williams (who was sometimes credited as Rachel Williams) who was also born in New York on April 29, 1967. Rachela Williams was a model who later became a singer in the rock group, Rock Solid.
Rachel Williams has been widely reported (on the internet, at least) to have been killed in a motorcyle accident in Los Angeles on January 9, 2001; however, I've since received word that she is alive, well, and still modeling as of September 13, 2003, when she appeared in a fashion show for Pierrot's Spring 2004 line. Thanks to site visitor James for this info. He also notified me that Rachel Williams is the only model to have been on the covers of U.S. Vogue (photographed by Richard Avedon), Italian Vogue (Steven Meisel), Playboy (Sante D'Orazio), and Penthouse (Albert Watson). [Perhaps the news report about Williams's death is actually about Rachela Williams.]
